A Highway Guide to Nevada

From the shores of Lake Tahoe to the allusive Area 51 and to the majestic Hoover Dam, our Nevada road trip was full of unique signs, historic towns, and a handful of tumbleweeds.

Switzerland

From exploring art museums in Basel, to not lifting a finger at luxurious hotels, and to visiting charming Swiss chalets, our second trip to the Land of Milk and Honey was just as magical as the first.

The Seventh Continent

All aboard! We embark from the end of the world aboard the MS Roald Amundsen on a (shivery) trip of a lifetime!

A Curious Scottish Excursion

Over a century ago, Phileas Fogg circumnavigated the globe over 80 trips around the sun. Taking a page out of his whimsical legacy, we found ourselves on a similarly audacious adventure—in Scotland.

An Off-centered Vermont Road Trip

Join AWA and our off-centered friends over at Dogfish Head for an even more off-centered adventure in the Green Mountain State!

A Rocky Mountain Road Trip

From the western metropolis of Denver to the surrounding Rocky Mountains, there’s something for everyone in the heart of Colorado.

The main repository of ice cores in the United States, the lab holds over 17,000 m of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland for scientific research. The main freezer stays at -36 degrees celsius–so you better bring gloves! Home to million year old ice, researchers can analyze the frozen cargo and reveal information about Earth’s past climate and states and fluctuations. Wondering how the National Ice Core team stand to be in freezing temps all day? Check out our reel below 👇🧊
